UK first press 1979. 12", 45 RPM, Town House. Record plays with a light crackle in places. Sleeve has minor wear.
Four instrumental synth pieces about the Soviet space programme — because why not? Released in 1979, this is The Human League at their most art-school and least radio-friendly. Cold, clinical, brilliant.
FFO: Thomas Leer & Robert Rental, early OMD, Kraftwerk (minus the hooks)
Pre-fame, pre-makeover Human League — all synths, no smiles. This 1980 LP is colder, weirder, and way more experimental than what came after. Sheffield science fiction with a punk hangover.
FFO: Cabaret Voltaire, Fad Gadget, John Foxx-era Ultravox
